Mosaic Building Solutions to Build Discount Market in Auburn

AUBURN, Ind. (July 18, 2017) – Breaking ground last month, Mosaic Building Solutions is working with ALDI to bring the discount supermarket to Auburn’s marketplace by year’s end.

Located at 207 Touring Drive, Mosaic began the project by demolishing the existing building on the lot. The hope is the brand new 20,000 ft2 space will better serve the community that has limited choices in where they are able to buy groceries. 

“With only one discount grocery in the Auburn area, we believe it is important to the community to have more choices in where they can access good food at affordable prices,” President of Mosaic Building Solutions Jake Fetters said. “ALDI’s also realized how significant their store could be to the area and that is why we are proud to be working with them on this project.”

The $2.5 million project will wrap up in December and should be open at the beginning of 2018.

The Mosaic Building Solutions Team Continues to Grow

The Mosaic Building Solutions Team Continues to Grow

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (April 18, 2017) – Mosaic Building Solutions is adding two new employees to their growing roster to help aid in business development and accounting.

Joining the team as the business’s Accountant, Beverly Inskeep is originally from Decatur, but moved to Fort Wayne while pursuing a degree in accounting. After nearly 10 years within the healthcare field, Inskeep decided to make the switch to the construction industry.

“After spending close to a decade in the medical field, I was looking for a new challenge and industry,” Inskeep said. “Mosaic is still a relatively new company, but growing in both size and revenue. This opportunity allowed me to come in at near ground level with a company that has a wonderful culture and ambitious goals.”

Mosaic’s new Business Development Manager, Jenny Cronenwett, has spent her life in sales and construction. Growing up in Connersville, Cronenwett’s father owned a construction company, where she first learned the in’s and out’s of the business. After moving with her family to Fort Wayne almost a decade ago, Cronenwett worked in sales.

“When I was first introduced to Mosaic, I quickly became very interested in Mosaic’s ‘design, build, manage’ outlook on construction, because it is a smart, more efficient approach to construction,” Cronenwett said. “Growing up close to Indy, I have a deeper appreciation of Fort Wayne because it is a big city, with a small town feel. My goal in this role will be to help the businesses of Fort Wayne achieve their talent attraction goals, through smarter building projects during this citywide renaissance.” 

Opening their doors in 2014, Mosaic and E&V Construction combined their work force in 2015. Since then, Mosaic bought the 709 Clay Street property in late 2016 and has been remodeling the first and second floor for continued growth opportunities. They currently have 23 employees.

Noble County Invests in New Maintenance Building

Noble County Invests in New Maintenance Building

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (August 19, 2016) – Looking to invest into the upkeep of northeast Indiana, Mosaic Building Solutions and Noble County are beginning work on a new maintenance facility. 

The project will consist of a new 7,160-square-foot building that will enable the county to provide quicker and better services to those living in the surrounding area.

“The Noble County maintenance crew was in need of a larger work area,” said President of Mosaic Building Solutions, Jake Fetters. “Not only will this new building give them the space for maximum work flow, but it will also be loaded with top of the line equipment.”

The $1.4 million job will include the installation of two state of the art equipment lifts and cranes. This machinery will give the crew the instant mobility to work with heavy equipment—leading to better response time and in-house abilities.

Looking to wrap up the project by February of 2017, the Mosaic team will first have to utilize GeoPiers that will provide additional support to the structure due to soil conditions, and then relocate the power and fiber optic cables to the new structure.

The existing site is at 1118 East Main St, Albion, Ind.

Fort Wayne’s First Container Bar is Coming to Town

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (June 13, 2016) – On Monday at 9 a.m., Mosaic Building Solutions and Wine Down Tastings and Tapas will be closing two lanes on Jefferson Blvd. to install Fort Wayne’s first container facility on the wine bar’s outdoor deck.

The $85,000 project will include a 320 ft2 outdoor bar that will be the area’s first custom made structure from a steel shipping container. The box will provide an indoor kitchen and bartending space, with seating for up to 30 along the outside counter.  

“When Wine Down came to us with this idea, we were thrilled to tackle a design that is not only a new concept for downtown, but also for the Fort Wayne area,” says President of Mosaic Building Solutions, Jake Fetters. “This will give our client the ability to service their outdoor customers with a different and exciting environment that will be one of a kind in the city.”

Not only will this be unique outdoor space, but the project is also a part of a green initiative. With a surplus of shipping containers due to import/export disparities, this new trend aims to repurpose containers into maintainable and functional spaces for businesses by installing openings, electrical, gas, water and specialized painting.

Located on the corner of Jefferson Blvd. and Harrison St., Wine Down Tastings and Tapas plans to open the new space on July 1, 2016.

Mosaic Building Solutions Spends Summer on IPFW’s Campus

FORT WAYNE, Ind. -- Making the rounds amongst IPFW’s campus, Mosaic Building Solutions is breaking ground on two renovation projects this Spring that aim to update student facilities.

“IPFW is a beautiful campus,” President of Mosaic Building Solutions Jake Fetters said. “Partnering with this institution has allowed us to enhance every student's experience while they spend time at the school.”

Already at work in the Helmkey Library, the Mosaic team will be updating eight restrooms on four floors within the library. Spending $395,000, the 2,500-square-foot project will include a complete remodel of the restrooms that were last updated in the 1970’s. Both modernizing and reconfiguring to maximize space, the job will wrap in the Fall of 2016.

“Mindfully working to keep distractions to a minimum, the majority of the projects will take place throughout the Summer months to not disrupt students,” Fetters said.  

Mosaic is also making upgrades to the Walb Student Union’s billiards area; a space adjacent to the student government office. Constructing a coffee bar and glass wall, only 1250-square-feet will be affected. This project sanctions the billiards-area fun by the ensuring pool balls cannot haphazardly escape from the space. The updates will be completed by the beginning of the 2016 school year.
